In other news…. A woman has stirred discussion online after cautioning women against blindly following relationship and lifestyle advice trending on social media, especially content that promotes relying on wealthy men for financial comfort.
In a video shared online, she expressed concern about what she described as misleading narratives encouraging women to prioritise finding rich partners instead of building their own financial stability.
According to her, many young women consume such content without questioning its practicality or long-term impact.
In her words, she said:
“As a woman, filter what you hear. Some girls are out here putting out content that women are consuming just because they want to go to a place where there are rich men who will spend on them.”
She noted that while such advice circulates online, many women are still working hard to meet their daily needs and remain financially independent.
“There is another girl somewhere trying to gather money to pay for her stuff,” she added, stressing the contrast between reality and the glamorous narratives being promoted.
Reacting to videos allegedly encouraging women to visit high-end shopping locations to meet wealthy men, she described the trend as troubling.
“The most hilarious one I’ve come across this week is someone encouraging girls to go shop at Yemol’s so they will meet big boys who will sponsor them.”
She concluded by urging women to be discerning about the information they consume online.
“The internet is messed up. There are a lot of advices online, and you have to filter them out of your life.”
